Time to Trim the Palms

From: Cyndie Alto

Just a friendly reminder about getting your tall palms trimmed. The deadline in Esperanza Estates to have your palm trees trimmed is June 30th.

The dry fronds are a fire hazard during monsoon season, and a spark can catch them on fire in an instant.

Homeowners can hire anyone they desire to the do the work.

EE does have an agreement with Monstrosity Tree Service for $100 per tall palm trees and $175 for each date palm which they will honor for everyone in EE.

Please call Cyndie Alto @ 509-881-7569 with questions.

Thanks everyone who has already taken care of their palms.

Thirsty Thursday

Thursdays at 4 p.m. at the Ramada. This is a no-host event, which means BYOB and snacks, and we all help with the cleanup. Please pitch in as much as you can before you leave.

We Stand Corrected

From: Pat Zehrer

Jody Hauge corrected us when last week's MMM stated this was a picture of a cow walking down del Norte. Hey, what can we say? We're city girls.



"It's a bull, not a cow. Jim and I had a good laugh. We farmed and ranched and have two sons and their families are farming and ranching."
